👩‍🍳 How To Prepare Nigella Dauphinoise Potatoes

1. Heat the oven to 350°F with a center rack. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter a 9×13-inch or 4-quart baking dish. Grate 2 cups of Gruyère cheese using a box grater.
2. Peel 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, remove blemishes, slice into 1/4-inch circles, and set in a big saucepan. Mince 3 garlic cloves. Add minced garlic, 2 cups heavy cream, 2 cups whole milk, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 2 dried bay leaves. Simmer on medium.

Pour roughly 2 cups of the cream mixture over the potatoes, stopping just below the top layer. Use part of the cream mixture. Finish with cheese.
4. Bake for 40–45 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and easily punctured. Serve with 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme leaves after cooling on a wire rack for 15 minutes.

• For a creamy feel, choose starchy potatoes like Yukon Gold.
• Change the spice and thyme to suit your taste.
• Don’t put too much in each layer to make sure the cooking and thickness are the same.
• Adjust the amount of heavy cream and milk so that the dish is rich but not too heavy.
• Don’t use too much bay leaf because it can make delicate flavors taste bad.
• Don’t rush the baking time; the potatoes should be soft enough to cut with a fork and brown.
